The Lord's Prayer
One of the best-loved and most-spoken Christian prayers on the planet. Definitely one to pray every day!
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
This much loved poem from the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament (The Hebrew Bible) is frequently read and recited by Jews and Christians alike. To this day it gives hope and comfort to millions of people around the world
.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

This is a very fine prayer for international peace.
O Lord God, we pray for peace and love in all the nations, among all the people that all wars and hatred will end. We pray for all those who suffer from war, injustice and intolerance, for the children, young people, the poor and neglected ones. We pray for peace in our life, our lands, nations, families and in our hearts; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.

This wonderful contemporary prayer by Rachel Wogo gives thanks to God for showering so many gifts and talents on a church congregation.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for my church. Whilst some might think of doors and windows, I'm praising you for spirits and hearts. The people whose lives you have intersected are remarkable through your grace.
I can't praise you enough for the unique way you have blended the talents of individuals into beautiful masterpieces of joy. May we love one another to the fullest, and be evidence of your ultimate love to advance the work of your kingdom.
Amen.

A Child's bedtime Prayer
Many will appreciate the usefulness of this fine prayer by Frank Colquhoun for anyone who is suffering.
Eternal God, whose Son Jesus Christ bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, and still comes to us in the guise of the needy: hear us as we pray for those in distress...
The hungry and the homeless; the disabled, the mentally afflicted and depressed; the sick and the dying; the aged, the lonely, and the bereaved.
Help us, O Lord, who offer these prayers, to take sufferings of others upon ourselves, and so by your grace to become the agents of your transforming love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Love this prayer! Bet you do too! Definitely a hint of the great St Francis of Assisi here.
Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray that all the world be blest.
Lady Moon and Sister Star
Watch over me from afar.
Mother Earth is always there
And keeps me safe within her care.
The Lord of Dreams will dance and sing
And happy dreams will to me bring.
And when I wake to greet the day
Brother Sun will light my way.
